Lydia G. Hartless or Lulu (Deemed by my mother) and I am in my young teens. About a year ago, a teacher I’m close with recommended a writing and art contest to me. I used Submittable to submit the work and overall was a semi-finalist. After that, I kept submitting and ended up getting published in two books by Poet’s Choice. Since then, I have continued writing and love it among other hobbies and extracurriculars such as, choir, school leadership groups and volunteering. I love being around other people and have always had a big social circle. I live in Texas and I quite enjoy it here. I speak Spanish as I am part Hispanic. In my free time I enjoy listening to music, painting, reading and doing cat puzzles with my mother and brother.
